PCEP Playing Turbo-grafx cds?

Hello, I cannot find information anywhere about how to get the PCEP emulator for the tubografx to run Turbografx cd games. I was thinking of playing Ys, Lord of thunder and castlevania, rondo of blood. However, since all the instructions are in japanese I gave up after over an hour of searching this site, google and messing around with the emulator itself. Do the files have to be in any certain format? Mine are all mp3+iso, and i included a cue file in the directory with the data files. Any help anyone can provide on this obscure emulator would be appreciated.

First off....the pcep doesn't use cue files. You have to make a TOC.

copy this and make a TOC file.

This is for Dracula X Rondo of Blood

Super CD Rom2 System V3.00.pce
The super Cdrom v.3.00 is the start up of the cdrom. so you need this to run cd rom games. easy to find on google.com


Your MP3's & ISO are fine.

To get music to work theirs 2 things you need to do.

1) Make sure your MP3's are normal mp3's
2) to re-name your mp3's

I'll start with #1

The one thing you have to do is make sure your mp3's are normal mp3's and not mp3 pro. If their mp3 pro, you'll have to convert them to normal mp3's

Use a program called Winlame. It's real easy to use. and can be found on google.com If their normal mp3's then don't worry and move on to #2

#2

Re-name your mp3's like this..

01.mp3
02.iso
03.mp3

see where I'm going with this.

Just re-name them like that, but don't put the mp3 at the end, because it's already a mp3 or iso. and if you have the name track in your mp3's and iso, take them out and just put the number in. ok....

next put your TOC, MP3's and ISO's all in one folder and name it anything you want, but since it's Dracula X name it Dracula X.

Put the folder on your Memory Stick.

psp/game/pcep07. not the % folder

Start emu...start any game....it doesn't matter which. Then press the (L) shoulder button. Go to "cd change" look for your folder name Dracula X. go inside the folder and pick the TOC file. You wont see the mp3's or iso...don't worry. You'll just see the TOC. select it, then back out then go to "card change" and look for "Super CD Rom2 System V3.00.pce" select that. Press it and the menu will appear. press Run(Start button) and the game should start with music.

The music is a little scratchy, but who cares....Your playing Dracula X Rondo of Blood on your psp.............woohoo :D

Enjoy
